convention over configuration

[FilipeSabella]

Hello,

I'm trying Spring Web 2.5 for about 5 hours now.

I want to do something like this:

Controller
class PersonController {
    public void list() {
        return list;
    }
}

And be able to call it with: /app/person/list

But I must be doing something terribly wrong, because I can't make it work without using

RequestMapping("/person/list")

on the method.

I tried using

<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping"/>

without success.

Can someone help?

Thanks in advance.

Add RequestMapping to indicate it's a request handling method. It's also good practice to indicate the request method:

@Controller
class PersonController {

    @RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public void list() {
        // ...
    }

}

Well, I did some wrong mix somewhere in between the tries.

That worked perfectly, thanks.
